The security solutions used in wireless home networks are examined in this report. The
growing number of wireless units have increased the need for reliable security solutions.
This report aims to enlighten the reader about the fundamental technology used in
wireless security solutions and inform about the existing flaws. A recommendation
about how to achieve a high level of security in the home network is also given to the
reader.
Several flaws in the security solutions in use have been reported. Of these the most
severe has been examined in a test network using highly accessible tools to get a
perception of how vulnerable the user is.
The tests showed that several attacks were efficient and easily carried out. We have also
seen that several of the home networks in our sample are susceptible to these attacks.
Our survey revealed that the Internet service provider's technical support in many cases
lacked the knowledge necessary to inform the user about reliable security solutions.
